    Upgrading Problem From Windows 8 to Windows 10


    I have a laptop with windows 8

    I did try to upgrade to windows 10 and it started downloading.

    It got to 12% and i closed the lid, when i opened the lid it was still at 12%, then after about an hour it was still at 12%

    I shut down and again once the computer had loaded up again

    When i selected upgrade, it didn't download anything, it just had a spinning loading icon and nothing else and back and next were greyed out.

    When i clicked on the close icon it would say "windows is cleaning the files before closing" or something and then get stuck on there?

    Windows 8 still seems to work (I think) Although I do get an error when i boot up now about something or other in the corner

    Whe3n you closed the lid, the laptop went to sleep suspending the update. All bets off after that :)

    Try downloading and creating an ISO then mount it and run setup.exe to start the upgrade.
